I finally have something to post! None other than Le Castle Vania and his Bulletproof Tiger Volume 1 mixtape. It’s an hour and a half long of upbeat electro club goodness, I can’t really give it justice by describing it in words. You’ll just have to check it out on your own and the original post in case you want the source. I included three tracks from the mixtape, first on the list being the Lies In Disguise remix of the Toxic AvengerPoker Face. I thought Lad Gaga there for a second, but definitely isn’t. The Cyberpunkers remix of Gooseflesh, Gooseflesh being the first Turkish electro group I’ve ever heard with an Italian twist in this case. And lastly, from his own, his remix of La Roux In For The Kill. I remember wanting to post this during that whole La Roux craze but never got my hands on the track. It’s about time, cause this track is amazing.

There’s something I like about Futureflashs mixes, I think it is because it breaks the rules I’m used to. ‘Now he’s asking for mixes to break rules?!’ He does it right, definitely enjoyed this mix despite the one iffy transition in the mid-20 minutes. Whatever, it’s more “raw”. Included three tracks, the Markus Lange & Stereofunk remix of Autodidakt‘s 15 Seconds featuring RQM. Another club track, the Dada Life remix of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, awesome track. And lastly, the Aston Shuffle remix of Malente vs. Azzido da Bass. Finally we’re kind of going towards electro again. Wait, did I promise you guys an electro post? Next time, I promise lol. Also, it seems Niko, aka Futureflashs, seems to have started his own label called Kiez Beats, which although there isn’t much to check out right now I thought I’d mention.

I haven’t posted a mix in a long time, so I decided why not post the MMMatthias 2010 Mix. Now it’s much more club than you would expect from me, so I’ll promise a very electro post next time. It’s not hard to go wrong with a club mix, seamless is what will set you above other amateur DJs, which is exactly what MMMatthias pulled off. I expected nothing less.

I included three tracks as well from the mix, first is from MMMatthias himself, his remix of The Sneekers‘ track Germs. It’s quite the party track. Second is GTronic‘s remix of Pink a Pad‘s, can’t say I’ve really heard of either but after listening to the track, I’ve definitely heard some version of it before. And lastly, the Tom EQ Remix of Claude VonStroke and possibly my favorite from the mix. I kind of went backwards on the tracklist.

Before I start on the mix, a bit of a sad day yesterday. I went to AA and for the first time I couldn’t name off any of the songs they played. Damn AA hipsters have outsmarted me. To make matters worse, I walked into Gap for no good reasons at all and recognized all the songs they played. What’s going on? Is this what it feels like to be stuck in a previous generation of music? It doesn’t matter, we shall prevail! If the music won’t move with us, we’ll move with the music!

Let’s get started with the mix! Lucio Morais and Yuri Chix of Database from Sao Paulo, Brazil has made a killer mix. It’s solid, and I’ve been a big fan of electro coming out of Brazil ever since The Twelves from I think when I started blogging. Refined, tasteful, never relying on dirty sounds, it’s quite refreshing. I just talked about a drink didn’t I… or sex. A couple of their remixes from this in this mix. I included two of their remixes of Savoir Adore and Duchess Says. A track near the start I would’ve liked to include was the Rory Phillips White Horse mix of White Lies, but I’ll put that in a post some time in the future. And of course I had to include the Louis La Roche remix of Michael Jackson‘s Thriller.

I haven’t posted about Immuzikation in a long time, it actually makes me sad that I haven’t. But alas, a mix from Alfredo with 39 tracks in 15 minutes. When I saw that, my initial reaction was “this is going to be way too busy”, I’m not always a big fan of mashup mixes, but it actually worked out amazingly. He was nice enough to include a very comprehensive tracklist which will come in handy cause these tracks are great. Basically everything I want to hear in a night in 15 minutes. Included three tracks, back in player form, his own remix of Metric‘s Help, I’m Alive. I absolutely love the mashup between Treasure Fingers and Santigold which leads into the synth he uses a couple times in the mix. Also included DJ Mehdi‘s Tunisia Bambaata and the Chromeo remix of Treasure Fingers. Also love the transition from K.I.M.’s Party Machini into MSTRKRFT, listened to that one a couple times.
